Two (Really) Good Instructional Books
I've purchased quite a few books and videos along my pool journey, but I just have to share these two books with the group. Both of these books (in my opinion) are a must have. Particularly for beginners or intermidate level players like myself. They may also be good for the more experienced players and APA Super-7's, but since I've never been one, I just can't say. Anyway, if you're looking for something to help kick start your game, consider buying (BOTH) of these books.

So if anyone purchases any of these, let me (and the rest of the group) know what you think. I really feel the combination of these two books has clarified a lot of things I was doing wrong and/or just didn't know.
